I'm trying to figure out how to do an interaction where the user has an item, and has to choose where it goes, Target A or Target B. They should get two attempts.
I tried creating this as a free-form drag and drop question, but I could only see to link to the correct target - the second one then wasn't recognized as an option to allow the placement of the item to go in that specific spot.
Then I tried using triggers to show a specific layer when the learner places the item on a hotspot, but I can't do multiple attempts.
If you go into the Form View and select the Drag Items and Drop Targets - then you shouldn't need the triggers to show the correct/incorrect layers - SL will do it for you. But you may need to add a submit interaction trigger.
Hi Wendy, I originally had it set up that way, but it wouldn't let me define a distinct second target, so the placement of the drag item was weird. Is there a way to get around that?
What are the matches Beth...what drag item goes to what drop target and when they have a second attempt do you expect the drag items to be reset to their original position?
The drag item Post-it should be able to be dragged to either of the two hotspots (I didn't know if that was the right way to create the targets or not, I need them to be invisible) named Correct and Incorrect. And yes, ideally it should reset on the second attempt, but only allow two attempts.
Thanks for the file, Wendy. I looked at all the triggers, but I still don't understand what action you took to make the post-it note be the draggable item.

Hi Beth
if you can share your file or even just that slide, we can check your setup and see how to help you.
Hi Wendy, thanks! Here's the file. The pink image is replacing a software page that I can't share, so just imagine it :)

Hi Beth
I created a Pick One slide instead of DnD - see if that works better for you. Will something like this work for you?
How do you make the post-it note the drag option in the Pick One slide?
Sorry Beth - I thought I attached the file...here is the sample

Select an item, and create a drag trigger (either "Object dropped on", or "Object dragged over") for it. It automatically becomes draggable.
Thank you so much for all your help, I really appreciate it!
